About HARD TO SERVE:
To protect and serve is all Detective Kyler Vance ever wanted to do, so when Internal Affairs investigates him as part of the new police commissioner’s bid to oust corruption, everything is on the line. Which makes meeting a smart, gorgeous submissive at an exclusive play club the perfect distraction…
The director of the city’s hottest art gallery, Mia Breslin’s career is golden. Now if only she could find a man to dominate her nights and set her body—and her heart—on fire. When a scorching scene with a hard-bodied, brooding Dom at Blasphemy promises just that, Mia is lured to serve Kyler again and again.
As their relationship burns hotter, Kyler runs into Mia at work and learns that he’s been dominating the daughter of the hard-ass boss who has it in for him. Now Kyler must choose between life-long duty and forbidden desire before Mia finds another who’s not so hard to serve.
Hard to Serve (Hard Ink #4.7) by Laura Kaye
Kyler Vance is dedicated to one thing—his job. He doesn’t have time for relationships and he believes his family’s history of cops getting divorced is his destiny. So he stays away from any unnecessary attachments. But when Mia walks into Blasphemy the BSDM club that Kyler is a Master Dom at he can’t resist the pull he feels toward her no matter how hard he tries.
Mia Breslin has a terrific career, a wonderful family and great friends. The only thing missing the love of her life to share it all with. Especially a partner who understands her sexual needs. Mia decides to try a temporary membership to Baltimore’s elite BDSM clubs Blasphemy in hopes of meeting a man who wants to be her partner outside the bedroom and her Dom inside. When she meets Kyler her hopes are up until he informs her in no uncertain terms he is not looking for a relationship. Finding him too hard to resist she pursues a temporary arrangement that may prove to leave her heart shattered.
My Review:
First I would like to say WOW, holy cow! I did not think that Laura Kaye had it in her to write steam like this. Don’t get me wrong her previous books had a lot of yummy sexy time. But this book just blew them all away. The explosive sex scenes between Mia and Kyler were fantastic. Laura Kaye really did a great job depicting the BDSM lifestyle touching on some controversial items in the life such as breath play and non-consensual play. If these things bother you then this book is not for you. It was very intriguing and extremely well written. I could not put the book down.
I thought Kyler was a great alpha male character, though some times when he messed up I wanted to punch him but he pulled it together in the end and got the girl.
Mia was a strong girl who knew what she wanted and what she didn’t want. She wasn’t going let Kyler walk all over her or mess with her head and heart.
Really very enjoyable read if you like this genre. You do not have to read the other books in the Hard Ink Series to enjoy this one. Though a couple of the characters from the series make an appearance this book is completely Mia and Kyler’s story.
I am very excited for the rest of the books in this series.

EXCERPT – A dark mood:
So many readers
asked for more stories in my bestselling Hard Ink series, and I’m so excited to
be able to give you just that in my new, super sexy HARD TO SERVE! HARD TO
SERVE is an edgy stand-alone love story about a Baltimore police detective
whose red-hot BDSM relationship with a new submissive seems like the perfect
distraction from a trumped-up investigation against him until he learns that
the woman is his boss’s daughter. Talk about sparks flying! I had so much fun
writing this book, and I can’t wait for everyone to read it! And if you enjoy
it, you might like to check out the whole Hard Ink series, now complete! Happy
reading!
Kyler had
tried to stay away from Mia. When he’d seen her across the club, he’d walked
away and stayed away. Despite the fact that her dress made him want to unwrap
her, that the updo of her lovely brown hair bared that beautiful throat, that
his body was making demands of him that his brain didn’t want to answer.
And then
she’d made it worse. First, by walking away from the Dom who was clearly
interested in her. Second, by waiting at the bar—for him—Kyler had no doubt
that’s what she’d been doing. And third by not only giving up on Kyler, but
finding a possible replacement in Master Quinton.
And when
Quinton had taken her hand—had touched what Kyler’s body screamed was his—Kyler hadn’t been able to stay away
anymore.
And now,
here they were. Kyler in a dark mood. And Mia seemingly all the more turned on
for it. It was almost like she knew what he needed her to be, or do, to ease
him. And that felt like a really fucking dangerous thing.
That
danger didn’t have him walking out of the room though, did it?
No,
instead, he was tying her to the cot-style bed in the basement-themed room. She
was kneeling with her legs spread wide, which allowed Kyler to secure her hands
and ankles behind her using rope tied to the iron. She could only lean so far
forward before the rope would catch her. He tied another rope around her waist,
with loops around each of her upper thighs, and attached that one to the almost
equally high footboard—this rope would not only keep her from leaning back, but
it would keep her from being able to sag down onto her calves. The two sets of
ropes largely immobilized her so that she had to take whatever he did. After he
arranged everything else he needed, he turned to her.
“What are
your safewords?” he asked. She gave him the right answers. “And if you’re
gagged?”
Mia shook
her head three times while humming, “Mmm, mmm, mmm.”
“Very
good, Mia. Are there any words or names you don’t like to be called while
role-playing?”
“No, Sir,”
she said, her voice so aroused that he could’ve thrown her down and skipped all
the build up.
But she
deserved better than that. He nailed her with a long look, giving her—and
himself—one last chance. But they were doing this. “Scene.” Grabbing the
medical scissors and a strap, he approached her, his persona shifting to fit
the dark role he had in mind. “Well, what do we have here?”
